The new text has the following statement:

   "PI IPv6 Assignment Size to End User Organisations:
    The minimum size of the assignment is /48. However, a larger
    assignment (shorter prefix) can be provided if duly documented
    and justified."

I am not sure what documentation and justification is required to  
qualify for a prefix shorter than a /48. What do I need to show the  
RIPE NCC before they would be able to assign my network a /47?
It would be helpful to people considering requesting a PI IPv6 prefix  
and the RIPE NCC if the policy gave a clear statement of what is  
required.
Also, the proposed text does not define a maximum size for an IPv6 PI  
assignment. When this is combined with a lack of definition for the  
qualification requirements it seems that a /32 of IPv6 PI could be  
assigned. Is that intended?
